Aleix Espargaro
“We have improved in terms of set up of the machine and this is the important thing, considered that we struggled a lot with the front during the free practices. We are just 5 tenths from the pole, less than 4 tenths from the front row, but we are in 10th position and this will make the race more complicated. This track is fast and we are suffering a bit. We will continue to work in the warm up to find the best set –up for the race, as we need a good result and gain the points lost at Indy”.
